HOLLYWOOD DETECTIVE: The Case of the Poisoned Puppet

Most issues of Hollywood Detective had a Dan Turner comic story along with the prose adventures. Why they made him look like a grown up Jimmy Olsen I'll never know. This one is from May 1943, the same issue as 'Shakedown Sham'.

I know Wild West Weekly had comics on and off during its life - basically I think they were trying to grab ahold of some of the market they had lost to the comic books. But they never really took off. Nice scans - thanks for posting them.

When not blogging, I write mysteries and historical adventure. I am the proud (and mighty dang lucky) recipient of the Mystery Writers of America 2011 Robert L. Fish Award. Check out "Skyler Hobbs and the Smarter Brother" in the Feb 2014 EQMM and "The Continental Opposite," the start of a new series, in the May 2015 AHMM. And watch for "Mr. Crockett and Indians" in a yet-to-be announced AHMM.
